Telemedicine is increasingly being utilised for the remote evaluation of stroke patients, particularly in neurologically underserved areas. It is usually based on video examination and teleradiological evaluations of brain scans. Scientific analyses have demonstrated the reliability of neurological scores assessed via videoconference. Teleradiology using electronically transmitted original imaging data is potentially equivalent to onsite assessment. Intravenous thrombolysis can be indicated with similar results as in experienced stroke centres if both technological and professional quality standards are applied. However, improved clinical outcomes of stroke patients have only been shown when telemedicine was combined with the Stroke Unit concept based on specialised stroke wards and organised stroke care. More scientific evaluation is needed in the fields of cost effectiveness, quality management and implementation of further technological innovations. There are still insufficient data about the use of telemedicine in prevention, rehabilitation and post-stroke care and a comprehensive scientific evaluation is still needed.
